Maple Leafs place Enroth on waivers
The Toronto Maple Leafs appear to be in search of a new backup goalie.
Jhonas Enroth has been placed on waivers, and head coach Mike Babcock cited poor performance as the impetus for the decision.
Babcock on Enroth: "Lou met with him today. Obviously, wasn't going good enough. We're just in a situation where we're making a change."

Enroth appeared in six games and made four starts for the Maple Leafs, posting a record of 0-3-1 with a save percentage of .872. He signed a one-year, $750,000 deal with the club in the offseason.
There's no word yet on who will serve as Frederik Andersen's backup for Wednesday's game against Minnesota. Karri Ramo has been practicing with the team, but he could get a better offer elsewhere.
Karri Ramo is expected to be cleared medically to return to play this week. Tor could be an option, but expect other interest as well...

Antoine Bibeau has been carrying the load at the AHL level, while the recently reinstated Garret Sparks has returned as backup.
